This is why I won't pay for youtube premium. It only removes part of the ads.

It removes all of the YouTube ads. If you don’t like ads embedded in videos, don’t watch videos from creators who take sponsorships.
...for now. Once adoption of YouTube Premium flatlines, they'll introduce "limited ads" and a higher tier YouTube Ultra to remove them.

Or just use SponsorBlock?

J, K, and L are keyboard shortcuts for "skip back 10s", "toggle pause", and "skip forward 10s". Left and right arrow keys do the same skipping. On mobile a double tap on either side of the screen again skips forward/back. A double tap with two fingers skips a chapter. Makes hopping around in a video a breeze.
Which ones doesn't it remove?
The ones put in by the content creators themselves.
Any opportunity to plug SponsorBlock: https://sponsor.ajay.app/
Because that's not YouTube's ad?
You mean the ones you can easily fast forward through?
